I think I did good today with slightly heavy use.
I will say that I don't consistently get this performance but when I do I don't complain.
Also juice defender seriously makes a big improvement.

This screenshot essentially shows us nothing without the other two. You need to click display in order for us to see the screen on time and click where it says 23hrs 15min as well. We need all that.
The only thing you've shown us is that the phone made it 23 hours and that you actually charged it for a little bit as well LMAO

lol, I bet he didnt think you'd see that :laugh:
ok so i came to the atrix at a what i have to say is a perfect time. i bought the phone and 2 days later there was root! i mean i was pretty lucky, had to wait for the unlock code and suffer one day without root! not to shabby. now while i had minimal time without root my battery seemed fine. however, i have since installed setcpu after root and dropped the clock down to 384mhz. while i know its slow! it still gets the job done. have a look at the screen shots.
Any random reboots??

if your asking me which i think you are...none at all. i mean dont get me wrong it takes an extra second in response to what you want to do. its by no means fast at that speed but i ended up getting nearly 21 hours outta it. the battery died while i was playing a game lol. i was hoping to beat it into submission that way. took less than 3 hrs to fully charge back up as well...
You guys need to show your screen on time. Without that, the numbers are pretty meaningless.

From the battery screen, touch the screen entry. It will show the screen on time. Without that, there are too many variables.

I get asked all the time the proper way to calibrate a battery; so, here's a proper guide for you guys to use to do so and save some post space
How to: Calibrate a Battery correctly on the CDMA Hero.
Charge the phone to 100%
Boot the phone into recovery.
Wipe battery stats
Power phone on, and unplug your fully charged phone
Use your phone until the battery dies. Completly. You want to use it until the phone automaticaly powers off due to low battery
Recharge phone
Repeat the Charging/Killing proccess about 2-3 times
Your battery is callibrated!
Hope this helps cut some questions down!!!

I've got a transcend 8g class 6 right now and it got messed up just this weekend letting the battery die. It did it the other 2 times on an old card then eventually went tits up not long after that. Needles to say 3 of 5 isn't a good ratio so I'll not be letting the batt die on my phone any time soon.

you can always unmount the SD card when the batt gets low, so it would be harder for it to mess up

Everyone always does after a fresh update. From the AOSP changelog, I don't think much work was done in that area.
Bluetooth streaming is working great for me. Was worth the wait!!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Now that I can finally talk about it (lol), the main thing I have found to be different in 4.2.2, is the battery life. I can EASILY make it through a day and have plenty battery remaining. I have had days where my talk time was around 2.5 hours, and my screen time was 2 hrs, and the battery lasted 17 hours. With medium to heavy use, my battery still easily makes it to 15 - 17 hours. A light use day now can easily have the battery last 24 hours. All in all, the update isn't a major change. There are a few things like the battery charging sound and the quick toggles (long press to do it), but overall the most significant thing the update brings is acceptable battery life. Whereas before, battery life was the Nexus 4's weakness, it is now something of a strength. It's also worth noting that the screen sensitivity issue has been addressed too.

Any news about the data not working when the device is idle for a long time? Or is it me the only one who has it??
Edited for what I assume may be better clarity:
Anyone else experiencing the notification dropdown being... slower? Like they smoothed out the animation of it opening, but now it feels like it takes too long. I liked it being quick before. It seems to be fine if you flick further (than usual for me), but if you do just a really quick flick, it's slower. I don't know how to explain it. I mean it acts like "normal" if you pull it down about half way with your thumb as fast as you want before releasing, but.. that flick man!
I LIKE TO FLICK! =[
Edit #2: Now that I think about it, the notifications feel like they open the way they did when 4.1 first launched, because I remembered them being slower then, too. I got used to it then, but having it the way its been for so long, its annoying to go back.
Also, maybe I'm just crazy.
shadrage said:

Now it looks laggy in a way. I doubt it's because I have a lot of notifications loaded up because they were there before the update, too, and I had no problems.
Edit: It will now pull down as fast as you pull it down if you manually drag from the top to the bottom of the screen (i.e. using your finger about half of the way instead of just a quick flick). However, the act of flicking the notification tray down to open it, is slower.

Early days, but I appear to get notifications on WiFi even when the screen has been off for a while. That said, my phone has been on charge and I can't remember if that affects it. But hopefully thats been fixed, because it was the only thing that annoyed me.

Used to happen to me on the GNEX ALL THE TIME. On the Nexus 4 it only happened to me a few times, however, and that was near when I got it. I don't think I had the problem at all for the duration of 4.1.2. Strange...
My upgrade is due on May 1 and the One is in my plans.
I have never had a phone that didn't occasionally need the battery pulled. How does it work work with current phones?

Not many people would just think to hold a button for 10+ seconds, some people I talk to don't even have the idea of "long-press" down pat (which I bet is why HTC has largely removed this from all but a few places on the phone)...

It sat on a pillow, in a box [so it would'nt collect dust] the whole night, connected to the charger ofcourse [as I had around 87 Percent at the end of the day I decided to charge it]
This morning I woke up and had to go straight to work, ofcourse I won't bring my lovely new HTC ONE to work, so I left it there and forgot it was charging.

Did I harm the battery? it sat there charging for 16 hours. since 0:00 - 16:30.
Please tell me it's alright and doesn't harm anything at all?

It is not bad guys. When I read battery would be 2300 I was like damn it will suck but I see google really did a great job here with optimization! Of course we might not get same juice as the g2 but for a 2300 battery I would say is damn sweet! On top of that we got awesome kernel developers like franco and faux which will for sure make possible battery improvements + auto brightness levels seem too high to me. Once somebody decreases them a bit, that will translate into further juice.
Just once I'd like to see a person do a test without any Wifi whatsoever, do it all on 3G/LTE.

Download LUX from the play store, you can set your own brightness. Increases battery life by 20% easily.
So far I'm at 17 hours total ontime, with almost 4 hours screen on time. And I still have 10 percent left.
I will root my phone and disable all Google apps which I don't really need. I think that will make my battery last even 2 hours longer.
